Thailand visas: find and secure the right long-stay visa

To live in Thailand you need a long-stay visa; visa-free entry is tourism-only and, since 15 September 2026, 30 days for most eligible nationalities. The right visa depends on your age, income, work and family: retirement, marriage or family, business with work permit, DTV for remote workers, LTR or Thailand Privilege. We identify the right route and handle the application.

Find your visa in 60 seconds

Answer two or three quick questions to see which visa could fit your plans. It is a starting point only: we confirm your options, based on your nationality and situation, in a free consultation on Google Meet.

Choosing a visa

  • It depends on your age, income, work and family situation. Retirees aged 50 or over often use the Retirement Visa, remote workers the DTV, high earners the LTR, and people married to a Thai national the Marriage Visa. Our visa finder above gives you a starting point, and we confirm the right route in a free consultation.

  • No. Visa-free entry is for tourism only, and since 15 September 2026 most eligible nationalities receive 30 days. To live in Thailand you need a long-stay visa, such as the DTV, Retirement, LTR, Marriage or Thailand Privilege visa.

  • Not on most. To work for a Thai company you need a Non-B visa and a work permit. The LTR visa includes a digital work permit, and the DTV covers remote work for employers or clients outside Thailand. The Retirement Visa and Thailand Privilege do not allow work.

  • In most cases, yes. Spouses and children can usually apply for a dependant visa linked to your own, and programmes such as the LTR and Thailand Privilege offer family options. We check what applies to your family during your consultation.

Applying with us

  • No. We work fully online. Your consultation takes place on Google Meet and, once you go ahead with our service, we prepare and check your documents remotely. Some visas require you to attend an embassy, consulate or immigration office in person, and we tell you exactly what to bring.

  • Yes, and most of our clients start from abroad. Many visas are applied for through the Thai e-Visa system or a Thai embassy before you travel. Since 31 August 2026, DTV applications must be made in your country of nationality or permanent residence, so we confirm where you should apply.

  • It depends on the visa and on the embassy or immigration office handling your case. Some applications take a few weeks, while programmes such as the LTR or Thailand Privilege take longer. We give you a realistic timeline once we know your situation.

  • Our visa service fee starts from THB 19,500 per person. For some visas this includes the embassy fee, while others add government or membership fees. Each visa page and our prices page show the details, and we confirm the total before you commit.

After you arrive

  • If you stay in Thailand for more than 90 days in a row, you must report your address to Immigration every 90 days. It can often be done online, and we explain how it works for your visa.

  • If you are staying on an extension of stay, such as a retirement or marriage extension, leaving Thailand without a re-entry permit ends that permission to stay. We explain what applies to your visa before you travel.

  • The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is an online arrival form that foreign visitors complete before arriving in Thailand, including children travelling with their family. It replaced the paper TM6 form.

  • Yes. Alongside visas, our teams help with health insurance, property rental and purchase, company registration and accounting, tax ID, driving licences, translations and pet relocation, all in one place.
